Random Tuesday Thoughts - 5 min or less version

I haven't been much in blogland in the past week or so and I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. Hop over to The UnMom for lots of random thoughts from random people about random things....

• First and foremost, let me say that the Burger King commercials are getting more and more funny in a creepy kind of way. The King has a certain potential stalker characteristic.... or is it just me??


• Last week was full of random insanity, like at one point I had a confrontation with a cable guy... he let himself in my house w/o asking.... wow. Yes, I'll blog about that separately sometime later today at my OTHER blog, so check back for those silly details if you're interested, and look out for my wordless Wednesday on that one....


• There's 9 more days and then I'm headed to the beach, we're going on a whim. I really need to get away for a few days!! The whole family is super excited!


• I'm a little frustrated about the lawn guy, we hired a lawn guy 4 years ago really because my husband had major heart surgery and during recovery we just got lazy and didn't do it ourselves... our yard is the side of the average sidewalk (sarcasm) really it's small maybe 1/4 acre and the cost of paying someone to mow it each 2 weeks is not extreme. The drought has almost guaranteed me frugality on that one.... anyway - so the OLD lawn guy broke his leg and we found a NEW lawn guy who's priced just the same (dirt cheap really) and now he's AWOL!! Called him several times, so I think I'm about to order one of THESE since it's eco friendly and we have a super small yard anyway. We can barely get dirt to grow around here so our grass isn't all fluffy and pretty like I'd like it to be.


• To further my minimal yard work, we're also getting a play set for the back yard, and going to drop lots of mulch or shavings around it with a border - that'll also cover up those baldspots in the yard and I will be a little less ashamed of our rocky, red clay and weedy back yard. :-(


• Well people, I'm off to write a letter to that cable company, one that I can read over the phone when I call so that I'm as tactful as possible.... AND I have to call that lawn guy AGAIN. I'm betting I'll have a nastygram in my mailbox today from the HOA! Thanks for stopping by to read my short random Tuesday bit!
